- mikroBUS: I2C and Analogue Interfaces
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that switches one of the eight inputs to one output. This board features the ADG728, a low voltage, CMOS 8-channel analogue matrix switch with a serially controlled 2-wire interface from Analog Devices. The ADG728 can operate equally well as either multiplexer, demultiplexer, or switch array easily connected to a nine-pole spring action block terminal. It provides flexibility and features a low on-resistance closely matched between switches and flat over the entire signal range. This Click Board™ is suitable for various applications, from industrial and instrumentation to medical, consumer, communications, and automotive systems.
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
How Does The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ Work?
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ is based on the ADG728, a low voltage, CMOS 8-channel analogue matrix switch with a serially controlled 2-wire interface from Analog Devices. The ADG728 can operate equally well as either multiplexer, demultiplexer, or switch array, providing more flexibility. It also features a low on-resistance closely matched between switches and very flat over the full signal range. During the Power-Up of the ADG728, all switching channels will be in the OFF condition, and the internal shift register will contain all zeros. All channels exhibit 'break-before-make' switching action preventing momentary shorting when switching channels.
Each bit of the 8-bit serial word corresponds to one switch of the device. Internal switching channels are independently controlled by an individual bit, providing an option of having any, all, or none of the switches activated. All of the input channels of the multiplexer can be easily connected to a 9 pole spring action block terminal, without having to use any additional tools, such as screwdrivers, while the output pin from the multiplexer is routed to the AN pin on the mikroBUS™ socket.
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface with a frequency of up to 400kHz. It also has two address pins (A0 and A1) programmed by the user to determine the value of the last two LSBs of the slave address, selected by onboard SMD jumpers labelled as ADDR SEL to an appropriate position marked as 0 and 1, allowing selection of the slave address LSBs. Also, this Click board™ has a Reset pin routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, which clears the input register and turns all switches to the OFF condition.
When changing the switch conditions, a new 8-bit word is written to the input shift register. The ADG728 compares the state of switches from the previous write cycle to minimize glitches on the switches output. This can be achieved if the switch is already in the ON condition and is required to stay ON.
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ is designed to operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. It allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the I2C communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Example Description
This application controls the multiplexing of a single input channel with an eight-channel matrix switch.

analogmux2_set_channel( &analogmux2, ch_pos );
Delay_ms( 3000 );
uint16_t analogmux2_an_value = 0;
log_printf( &logger, " CHANNEL : AN%u rn", ( uint16_t ) analogmux2_get_channel( &analogmux2 ) );
log_printf( &logger, "- - - - - - - - - - - - - rn" );
if ( analogmux2_read_an_pin_value ( &analogmux2, &analogmux2_an_value ) != ADC_ERROR ) {
log_printf( &logger, " ADC Value : %urn", analogmux2_an_value );
}
float analogmux2_an_voltage = 0;
if ( analogmux2_read_an_pin_voltage ( &analogmux2, &analogmux2_an_voltage ) != ADC_ERROR ) {

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Analog MUX 2 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
